HOMES OF TODAY

1932

Historic Mount Vernon Reproduced at Paris Exposition

In response to an invitation from President Doumergue, on behalf of the
French government, the United States participated in an unique and fitting
manner, in the French governmental Exposition Coloniale Internationale de
Paris. The architectural plans for the American buildings carry as a feature
a full size replica of Mount Vernon.

Following the approval of the architectural plans by President Hoover,
the State Department decided that all materials and equipment should
come from the United States — and awarded the contract for this and for
the actual erection of the other American Exhibit buildings in Paris to the
Home Construction Division of Sears, Roebuck and Co. These contracts
were entered into the first part of October, 1930, with the understanding
that all construction was to be completed by February z8, 1931. The confi-
dence the United States government has placed in the Home Construction
Division of Sears-Roebuck is merited by our well trained organization,
which has built nearly 60,000 homes in all parts of the United States.

••It Yon Built That, I Want Yon to Build My Home

We believe you will say this same thing as thousands of others have — after you have
reviewed these beautiful homes and the details of Sears, Roebuck and Co.'s remarkable
home building financing offer.

Just as Sears built in France a duplicate of George Washington's ideal Virginia home,
so are Sears building in every type of community, homes of every size and style — the
ideals of individuals in every walk of life.

These men and women will tell you that fine homes built under the Sears plan cost less
than ordinary homes built under ordinary methods — and they will tell you that it
takes less time and less worry to own your home the Sears-Roebuck way.

Now, it is your home that is to be built — your purse, your needs, your ideals of
home ownership that are to be given every consideration. And we believe that when
you have weighed the advantages of Sears unrivaled home building and financing
services, after you have counseled with us, that you will make the same decision that
nearly sixty thousand others have made, "I want Sears-Roebuck to build my home!"

Home Building Organization

in the World

HVERYONE KNOWS that Sears,
Roebuck and Co. is in fact, as well as in name the
World's Largest Store. Financiers, business and mer-
cantile leaders can tell you that about one per cent of
the nation's business — or about three hundred and fifty
million dollars a year — is done by this one concern.
No wonder! More than twelve million families are
proud to tell you "We buy at Sears."

lOU SHOULD KNOW THIS
TOO. The Home Construction Division of Sears, Roe-
buck and Co. is the biggest home building organization
on earth. It is a separate and distinct unit of the com-
pany, owning its own factories, employing upwards of
z,5oo in its own organization, and with a trained per-
sonnel experienced, over 15 years, in every phase of
fine home building. What other organization in the
world can say the same?

Nearly sixty thousand homes already constructed
— from foundation to roof — equivalent to the number
of homes in a city of two or three hundred thousand
people. In scores of cities there are complete construc-
tion offices devoted exclusively to selling these fine
homes — modest cottages of four rooms — mansions of
forty and more. Even exposition buildings for the

United States Government! No building undertaking
too large^none too small.

A GIANT CRAFTSMAN. Four-
teen million feet — about 70 times as much as the average
yard is the storage capacity of his lumber plants. He
operates ten great factories for building needs only. At
one of them the huge ocean freighters come right up
to his own docks to unload raw materials and supplies
for this single forty-acre plant. That saves many dol-
lars on transportation.

The enormous dirigible "Los Angeles" could con-
veniently find mooring space in one of the buildings at
this Port Newark, New Jersey, plant if other equipment
were removed. Nearly one hundred feet high, five
hundred feet long, and one hundred sixty feet wide,
this single building is a giant hive of industry itself.
But there are others.

In Norwood, Ohio, the World's Biggest Home
Builder operates a seventeen acre sash and door factory
able to produce three and a half million dollars worth
of millwork a year — doors, windows, everything that
helps make four walls a home. And the eyes of the
giant watch quality at every step. The best materials,
skillful workmanship and low cost are his exacting
demands of man and machine.

and millwork plant at Newark, N. J.

XET ANOTHER 40-ACRE
PLANT. To serve the great Midwest and South a com-
bined lumber and millwork plant of forty acres is kept
humming at Cairo, Illinois. Batteries of singing saws
and crooning planers, creeping caterpillar tractors,
and husky cranes are kept busy preparing material
that will save the building workman's time and your
money. If a special machine is needed to handle a job
more efficiently, more economically, that machine is
bought, invented, if necessary.

LACHINES DO EVERYTHING
BUT THINK. Like mighty mechanical ants, and as
busy, are the peculiar trucks that haul tons of building
supplies underneath their stilt-wheeled bodies; fast mov-
ing electrically driven, they pick up their own piles
and drop them down without a slip just as real ants
carry crumbs.

One remarkable rafter
machine does three
things at once, beveling
both ends and cutting
the notch for the top
plate with lightning
speed, and absolute accu-
racy. Human hands can-
not compete with such
machines. Fewer minds
are needed to guide them. But so great is the number of
machines that hundreds of skilled mechanics are needed
to operate those in our lumber and millwork factories
alone.

FNE AND TWO STORY SKY-
SCRAPERS. Just as the big girders for the framework
of skyscrapers are fabricated at the mills, so are the
joists, sills, studs, plates, and rafters for your home
measured, cut and marked at the factory. Carpenters
like to have materials arrive this way, just as cooks

like to have ** butter the size of an egg, a cup and a
half of sugar/* etc., on hand when baking. Neither
too much nor too little, but the right amount, of the
right quality, ready to use. Furnishing the framing
parts this way eliminates tiresome back breaking toil
and enables carpenters to concentrate on construction,
to work faster, do more and earn more.

CONTRACTORS PREFER THIS
METHOD. Contractors recognize these advantages.
One contractor who has built more than one hundred
residences this way said recently, "Since there is no
hand sawing to be done, and no waste of lumber, I do
not have to charge for these. I pass these savings
along to the home owner in the form of a lower con-
struction price. This method is better for me too, be-
cause I can get the work done sooner and can send my
men on to other jobs, handling more business in less
time."

IhE GREATEST VALUES FOR
YOUR BUILDING DOLLARS. Our many lumber,
millwork, paint and roofing factories, wall paper mills,
and other related plants, reduce your building costs
still further. When we build your home, we know
what are the best materials and equipment to use, and
the lowest price at which these can be obtained. Our
tremendous buying power and our complete manufac-
turing facilities make it possible to obtain or produce
these products for you at that low price. Only by
buying direct from the World's Largest Home Building
Organization can you make these big savings. Only
from a general merchandise institution, such as Sears,
Roebuck and Co. can you get an iron-clad guarantee
of complete satisfaction. We are in the home building
business to make life-long friends and to create steady
customers for 4 ' The World's Largest Store. ' ' Nowhere
else can you get such big values for your home building
dollars.

What This Means to You!

First of all, doing things on a big scale implies tre-
mendous buying power. Mass production plus this
greater buying power means extra economies, preven-
tion of waste, not skimping of materials. This in turn
brings top quality at low prices.

But low prices aren't enough. The valuable ex-
perience gained by the Largest Home Building Or-

ganization in the World, twenty-five years of it, is
worth much more to you. This twenty-five years
experience saves you disappointment as well as money.
It has shown the way, not only to lower home building
cost, but to better homes, better construction, and
happier home ownership.

We Need to Build
— inctuding Money!

A LANS. Here at your disposal to
pore over and to study is the world's biggest library
of fine home designs and suggestions. Your ideas and
suggestions — what you want — are welcomed and made
practical at a price you can easily afford.

Artists picture many fine homes for your study
exactly as we have built them for others. Experienced
home counselors confer with you so that you consider
every comfort and convenience that will make your
home most livable and attractive. Nothing is for-
gotten. Then the value of the completely built house
is guaranteed as the final price to you. No needed
"extras" later to "boost the bill."

Sears two hundred million dollar guarantee of satis-
faction begins here.

Materials and equip-
ment. Only top quality materials and equipment
with the best performance records, tested over a twenty-
five year period in nearly sixty thousand homes. Only
designs, patterns and colors most in demand by dis-
criminating home seekers. No products less worthy —
less desirable, deserve the backing of Sears unqualified
guarantee. No unnecessary tax for heavily advertised

brand names. Sears-Roebuck fine homes, finely built,
are their own publicity — in every community. And
these complete materials, equipment, and appoint-
ments of your selection must give you just as much — in
many cases more — satisfaction and service as you could
rightfully expect from any similar products offered by
any other concern in the world.

This is but one more way you are protected by Sears
two hundred million dollar guarantee of satisfaction.

Complete construction.

Sears-Roebuck employs the best building tradesmen
in your community. Every construction detail from
the breaking of ground to the final flick of the last
paint brush is carefully checked by Sears engineers at
each step of the way. This insures all workmanship
meeting not only your local building code, and the
requirements of the U. S. Bureau of Standards, but the
higher, more advanced standards of Sears-Roebuck
construction.

Again greater values are yours — guaranteed by the
entire resources of this two hundred million dollar
institution.

MS- Year

Plan

If you own a well-located lot, for each
dollar you invest Sears will lend you up
to three dollars to build the house. You
furnish one-fourth of the cost of your
house and lot — Sears furnish as much as three-
fourths. As the following examples show, little or no
cash is needed to build this way and monthly pay-
ments are lower than rent for homes of equal value.
Under this plan you can take as long as you want to
pay for your home — up to fifteen years. No payments
for the first four months.

Example A

Suppose your proposed home will cost. $4,000

And the value of your lot is 1,000

Total $5,000

Sears-Roebuck will lend you up to three-fourths. 3,750
Your cash investment in addition to lot would be

only $250

Monthly payments would be only $32.10.

Example B

If your proposed home will cost $15,000

And the value of your lot is 5,000

Total $20,000

Sears-Roebuck will lend you up to three-fourths. 15,000
And your lot, therefore, is your only invest-
ment necessary.

Monthly payments would be only $128.40.

This plan means you can stop -paying rent and apply
that money to the purchase of a home! Ask yourself
"How much money am I losing by not owning a home
of my own?" You can easily figure it out from the
following table.

5- Year

Plan

We will lend you up to sixty-five per cent
of the total value of the completed house
and lot. Payments are one-half per cent
of the principal monthly and interest at
six per cent per annum. Home seekers who own
well-located lots and who want loans for a short time
only prefer this five-year plan. No monthly payments
for the first four months.

Farm
Loan
Plan

We will negotiate these loans to home
seekers who own free and clear, well
located, productive farm land; that is,
farm lands not already mortgaged and
which are self-supporting. In such cases we will loan
up to fifty per cent of a fair valuation of the land
owned. These loans run for not longer than five years.
You pay one-tenth of the loan in the fall of each year
and six per cent interest. Balance at end of fifth year.
You may also pay oftener during the year or even
monthly, if desired.

How to Build Through Arrangement
With a
Building and Loan Association

Sears, Roebuck and Co. will ship the materials to
you upon receipt of a letter from your Building and Loan
Association, stating that the amount of our bill has
been set aside for us and payment for the material will
be remitted to us at certain periods as the work pro-
gresses. At your request we will be glad to furnish
you the kind of a letter required by us, made out, ready
for your Building and Loan Association to sign.

2% Discount for Cash With Order

We allow 2.% discount if you enclose cash for the full
amount — money order, draft, or personal check — with
your order for a complete house.

One order— requiring just a few interesting hours on your part
— puts your entire home building program into the hands of this
leading organization/ with over 25 years experience in better
home construction.

And Remember . . .

Sears, Roebuck and Co. put their entire
resources — over two hundred million
dollars — behind your home to assure
you the utmost in dollar for dollar
long time value.

What Enthusiastic IIoiih* Owners Say Alton t

"I can truthfully recommend every
dollar's worth of material I received
from you people to be first class in
every respect. Upon comparing prices
I find that I saved over $1000 in buy-
ing my Oakdale home from Sears,
Roebuck and I got better material.
My heating plant simply can't be
beat. I will gladly show anyone
through my home who is interested
and explain it to them."

Walter Brumitt,
Address furnished on request.

"I first want to express to you the
splendid financial system that you
people have. It places the prospective
builder in a position to know from
the start what his monthly payments
will be and it is not like some financ-
ing companies, who will tell you
after you have built what they will
finance your property for. In other
words, it gives you a guarantee in-
stead of a promise.

"The materials that went into our
home were very satisfactory and will
say that I investigated very thor-
oughly all materials furnished by our
local lumber yard and also by Sears,
Roebuck and Co. before I bought and
after our home was built. I have had
numerous complimentary remarks re-
garding the lumber and its quality,
also of the bathroom and lighting fix-
tures. The furnace is the best that I
have ever used.

"Hundreds of people have compli-
mented my wife and myself on the
appearance and attractiveness of our
home."

Roy G. Wornom,
Address furnished on request.

"I have been in the building busi-
ness more than forty years, and have
built buildings and homes in several
different states and most truly say
that your building material in its
many different lines is second to
none. Your delivery is prompt, your
terms liberal, and always most cour-
teous and fair in your business tran-
sactions. Since using your materials,
I figure that I have saved twenty per-
cent on each job — besides the satis-
faction of receiving grades as speci-
fied."

J. W. Bailey,
Address furnished on request.

"I have found that the plans for
my Lewiston home were very clear
and no trouble was met in carrying
them out. The material which we
received was of the finest quality and
it was the cause of complete satisfac-
tion. Upon comparing the cost of our
home with that of other companies,
I have come to the conclusion that by
choosing as I did, a sum of approx-
imately $1,600 has been saved. You
have also my permission to have cus-
tomers come and see my home. I will
gladly take them through and point
out to them the excellent quality of
the materials, etc."

Isador Cloutier,
Address furnished on request.

"Your materials were not only exactly as advertised, but far surpassed
my expectations. In fact, one dealer emphatically told me that he could
not possibly furnish as good material, not only in main construction but
built-in features as well. I can say the same regarding the plans.

_ I have given this building considerable thought— before I built and
since — and have figured *a saving of at least $1,000 over and above what
the 'Maplewood' would have cost had it not been a completed
'Honor Bilt' house.

"The ready cut plan, to my way of thinking, is the only plan. The
time saved alone in construction, is a very valuable asset and each and
every piece fitted with such exactness that sawing was not even thought
of. One neighbor remarked, 'It seems so strange — all the pounding and
no sawing.'

"We are mighty proud of the 'Maplewood' home and can say nothing
but words of praise of it and of the square dealing received from Sears,
Roebuck and Co."

Frank L. Hitchcock,

Address furnished on request.

"We shall always be glad to help any-
one at any time in building their own
home. We are so pleased about our
Mitchell that we like to see others start
their own home. It's so easy with your
finance plan to back them.

"Judging from what other houses cost,
I think I saved about $1,000. Of course,
it is hard to get figures as the
homes built locally are not completed by
any means when the contracts are done.
There are dozens of things still left to do
then. I will have everything completed
for $5,700, which I think is a great sav-
ing. The ready cut method is the quick-
est and I think the best, as it allows the
owner to move in much sooner and so
save about a month's rent or more."

Jules F. Mommaertz,

Address furnished on request.

SEARS, ROEBUCK and CO.

"It is with great pleasure that I take
this opportunity or telling you about
your wonderful service and quality
of material used throughout.

I had a Lynnhaven Home built by
your Milwaukee representative and I
truthfully say that it is second to none
anywhere you go. I take great
pleasure in recommending Sears,
Roebuck and Co. to all of my friends
and associates. Courtesy and honest
dealings seem to be their watchword . ' '

Henry J. Moll,
Address furnished on request.

So-irs Complete Home IKiiil«lini» l*lan

"I am very well impressed with the quality
of the lumber that is furnished, and also with
the generous dimensions of the lumber used
for framing, especially for floor timbers, roof
rafters, and ceiling joists; the very places
some contractors usually specify lighter
material. These things together with the
good quality of workmanship going into the
construction of our Lewiston home, has con-
vinced me that a Sears, Roebuck 'Honor
Bilt* home is a wise investment.

"You may direct prospective customers to
our home and rest assured that I can, and
will speak highly of your ready cut homes
and your good financing plan.

"As to the probable saving that we made
in dealing with Sears, Roebuck and Co., it
would be hard to say, except that I have seen
houses put up by local contractors that are
no bigger, and certainly no better built, that
have run $700 and $800 higher."

John E. Towns,

Address furnished on request.

"The Sears-Roebuck materials that went
into our home were strictly first class in
every respect and were favorably commented
on by many people in the neighborhood who
visited the house during construction.

"The local lumber dealer, who handled
the material from the freight station, re-
marked that it has been a long time since he
saw such fine material.

"Local builders state we could have built
our home just as reasonable with local mate-
rials as with Sears-Roebuck material, but all
agreed they could not come up to the quality
which you furnished.

"Your finance plan also is far better than
any arrangement which could be made
locally."

Joseph Eble,

Address furnished on request.

"I am very proud of my Val Ionia Honor
Bilt home. The arrangement of all the
rooms and wardrobes is ideal and much time
and money was saved by the material being
ready cut. I was well pleased with the
superior quality of all the material which
you sent and I figure that I saved about $1000
by buying from you. If I should ever build
another home it would be an Honor Bilt."

Dency Adams,

Address furnished on request.

"We will be glad to show any of your
prospective customers our home and tell
them how well pleased we are with your
materials and service.

"We compared your construction with
that of the local lumberman and found we
were getting better construction for less
money.

"They furnish only 1x4 rafters and ceiling
joists, spaced 2.4 inches, while we have 1x6
spaced 16 inches— difference in thickness of
flooring — paper under shingles — and a num-
ber of other things. We made good com-
parison before building."

Irvin Lichtenwalter,

Address furnished on request.

"The treatment I received from you in the
purchase of my home and garage was so
entirely satisfactory as to price, quality of
material, mode of packing and shipping,
prompt delivery, in fact in every particular,
that if I should ever build another house
or houses I would look nowhere else for the
necessary material. I would not even ask
for bids, but would simply and directly send
you an order to ship everything needed and
let the bill come with the goods. This much
faith I have in you. Your guarantee really
means something."

Henry L. Bramstedt,

Address furnished on request.

"We certainly feel well pleased and satis-
fied with our Bellwood home and the treat-
ment and attention given us. Feel as though
we saved money by getting our home
through you and can gladly recommend
Sears, Roebuck as being on the square, on
the job, and wonderful to deal with.

"Have shown ten or fifteen couples
through our home and feel as though, from
their actions, they will buy from you."

Thomas J. Freeman,

Address furnished on request.

"I have nothing but praise for Sears,
Roebuck and Co. and their methods.
Although I am not in a position to say
how much money I saved on my 'Jean-
ette' house, I can say that I am satisfied
that the material I bought from Sears
could not be duplicated here, regardless
of price. I am willing to recommend
your Honor Bilt homes to anyone — and
I have done so to many. Your system
is good, your materials Ai, your finance
plan wonderful, and your entire
organization is efficient and square in
all methods."

AMERICA'S MOST POPULAR
HOME RUILDING PLAN

Bo You Require Me to Build From One of
the Plans in This Book?

No. Your home may be built from any suitable
plans you already have, or from plans prepared by
your own architect, in accordance with your own

ideas.

Are There Any Advantages in Building
From One of the Plans in This Book?

Yes, there are distinct advantages. When you build
from one of these designs, you get a house that you
know in advance is efficiently planned, and econom-
ical to build. With a few exceptions, each plan has
been built several times and proved desirable from
many viewpoints— as to size and arrangement of rooms,
with regard to adequate lighting and ventilation, time
saving construction methods have been worked out,
and other improvements have been made.

Also, building your home from one of these plans
is a sure way to get a home you can easily sell at
any time, because only the designs most in demand
are shown in this book.

Can a Sears-Roebuck Home Be Any Size,
or Any Style?

Yes. There is no limit to the kind or price of home
that Sears-Roebuck is able to build or furnish ma-
terials for. Any kind of home from a cottage valued
at a few thousand dollars up to a forty room residence
or larger, costing seventy-five thousand dollars or
more. The home may be Colonial, English, Spanish,
Norman or any other architectural style which the
owner prefers, with exteriors of brick, stone, wood,
stucco or other materials suitable to the design.

Can I Build Where I Want?

Yes. Sears-Roebuck homes are built in every size
and type of community— in the residential districts
of New York, Chicago, Detroit, Philadelphia and

Page

other metropolitan cities, as well as in smaller cities
and towns.

How Much Cash Bo I Need to Build?

Little or no cash is required. If your lot is fully
paid for, or if you can buy one, its value will be
credited as part of your down payment. Your down
payment need equal only one-fourth of the total value
of both the lot and the house you build on it, so if the
value of your lot is sufficient you need not invest any
cash. In any event your cash down payment will be
relatively small.

What Bo Monthly Payments Amount to ?

All the way from $x5.oo a month and up depending
on the value of the house. The designs illustrated
in this book show the relatively low monthly pay-
ments which home seekers are called upon to make
—payments that are less than the usual rent for houses
of the same and even less value.

When Bo Monthly Payments Start?

Not until four months (12.0 days) after you order
your home.

How Long Can I Take to Pay for My Home?

You can have as long as you want— up to fifteen
years.

Bo I Have to Renew Mortgages?

No. Under our fifteen year plan there is no renew-
ing of mortgages at any time. This is one of the
most appreciated features of the Sears-Roebuck plan,
especially by home owners who have experienced
the worry and expense connected with the obtain-
ing of new loans. When you buy your home from
Sears-Roebuck you will not be saddled with unneces-
sary financing charges.

SEARS, ROEBUCK and CO.

What Does Your Price Include?

Sears price includes full quantities of all materials
and equipment necessary to make your home com-
plete and ready to live in — window shades, linoleum
on the kitchen floor, and in many cases, the electric
refrigerator and other appointments you may wish
to include.

In districts served by our Home Construction Of-
fices, our price may, if you wish, also include the cost
of complete construction of your home.

You know in advance exactly what you are going to
get, and the price quoted is guaranteed as the final cost
to you.

Blow Does Sears-Roebuck Handle
the Construction?

In communities covered by field construction offices
Sears-Roebuck engage the best building contractors
and supervise all construction from start to finish.
Materials and workmanship are tested and inspected
each step of the way to insure meeting local build-
ing codes, as well as the requirements of the U. S.
Bureau of Standards.

If you wish, you may engage your own contract-
or, in which case Sears-Roebuck will supervise the
construction for you. In exceptional cases, where
the owner is a contractor or a skilled building me-
chanic, he may do some of the building work him-
self under the direction of Sears supervising en-
gineers, and the value of such work will be credited
as a part of his down payment,

This constant supervision speeds up work and avoids
material and labor liens, which so often cause expen-
sive delays in home building.

The home owner is also assured of the best work-
manship at the lowest costs, as the contractor knows
he can rely upon Sears-Roebuck to pay him promptly
and frequently for work well done, and he will not be
forced, as he often is, to include in his price a hidden
charge to cover the possible costs of borrowing money
to meet his payroll.

If your home is to be built in a location not served
by Sears Construction forces, we will cooperate in
every possible way with your own conttactor.

What Savings Can I Make by Building
a Sears-Roebuck Home?

You pay less for materials and equipment. Sears,
Roebuck and Co. own and operate their own plants
and sell to you direct at very low prices. You save on
construction costs, because much of the material of
the house is quickly and economically cut by special
machinery at the factory before being shipped, instead
of being slowly and expensively cut by hand on the
job.

You save on repairs and up-keep because of sound
construction — and because the materials and equipment
used have been tested and developed over a period of
Z5 years.

You save on financing. Sears, Roebuck and Co.
provide the money so that you can build a home
using the company's materials and equipment, and
not for the purpose of making a profit on this money.

When you borrow building funds from a financial
agency, their sole purpose, naturally, is to make a
profit on the loan itself, and you must pay the cus-
tomary fees, bonuses, commissions, and interest
charges for use of the money.

How Much Time Must I Spend on My
Building Program?

A few hours at the start is all that is required. One
order placed with Sears-Roebuck takes care of
everything after you have decided on your architect-
ural plans — the materials, the equipment, and other
services necessary to the completion of your home.

When you buy a home from Sears-Roebuck, one
capable organization handles everything from start to
finish, eliminating worry, trouble and loss of time on
your part.

You place full and undivided responsibility in the
hands of one reliable organization instead of the old
unsatisfactory method of dividing this responsibility
several ways.

It is unnecessary for you to buy your materials at
one place, contract for building services somewhere
else, and go to still a third source for financing (some-
times first, second and third mortgages).

Under the Sears-Roebuck plan you can order your
home just as quickly as you can order an automobile,
a radio or any piece of merchandise.

How Do I Know That I Will Be Satisfied
With a Sears-Roebuck Home?

Because Sears-Roebuck guarantees complete satis-
faction and because it is actually a great deal more
important to Sears-Roebuck to see that this guar-
antee is lived up to than it is to you. The reason why
is obvious. Sears, Roebuck and Co. is a general mer-
chandise institution whose present large business was
founded and developed on the well known guarantee
of "Satisfaction or Your Money Back," The Com-
pany's continued success depends upon creating and
holding the confidence and good will of millions of
customers year after year.

The amount of merchandise which you buy from
our Retail Stores and Mail Order Division, over a
period of many years, will largely depend upon how
well satisfied you are with your home, with its price
and with the Company's services in connection with
your building program.

When you buy your home from Sears, Roebuck
and Co. you put the strongest safe-guard on your in-
vestment that you could possibly hope to secure.
The Sears-Roebuck guarantee means exactly what it
says and it is backed by the entire resources of the
institution — more than zoo million dollars.

IN PRESENTING ;he Elmhurst design
we do not hesitate in advising our pro-
spective builders that this home contains
convenient interior arrangement and exte-
rior attractiveness, both of which can be
secured at a minimum cost due to our time
and labor saving ready-cut method of
construction.

The main walls of the exterior are
planned to be covered with face brick,
while the gables are given an added touch
of individuality by the use of half timber
and stucco. The size, arrangement and de- ,
sign of the windows are such that they
not only give plenty of light and air to
the interior but also add to the well
balanced exterior.

WE SUGGEST USING a brick which
ranges in color from light to a dark red
and also contains some browns and blacks.
For the stucco, we suggest a light buff
with dark brown trim members.

The floor plan contains living room,
dining room, kitchen, breakfast room,
lavatory, three bedrooms and bath.

THE COLCHESTER is a modern English type which not only has
beauty but an exceptionally well laid out floor plan as well.

In selecting the design, it is very desirable to have a home which
gives a complete living arrangement on the hrst floor, to which addi-
tional rooms can be easily added at some future time. You will note
from the floor plans that the first floor contains five rooms and bath,
and that it is also possible to have two more bedrooms, with closets,
and playroom or second bath on the second floor.

The motif or main detail of the front of this building is the happy
combination of brick, stone and stucco. These materials have been given
careful thought in designing the front entrance, fireplace chimney and

bay projection of the dining room. The size, design and arrangement
of the windows, together with the broken roof lines, give this home a
most pleasing appearance from every perspective.

THE LIVING ROOM and dining room are connected with wide
plaster arch opening. These rooms are well lighted and contain excep-
tional wall space.

Three cabinets are a part of the complete labor-saving kitchen which
also faces the front of the house. A small hall opening out of the living
room gives the necessary privacy and connects the bedrooms, bath and
stairs to the second floor. For copies of the original architectural

IN DESIGNING small homes, the main thing to keep in mind is to obtain an attrac-
tive appearance on the exterior and a convenient arrangement of the interior and yet keep
the construction cost as low as possible. In presenting this five-room design, we have
observed the above requirements, resulting in a happy combination of these desirable
features. The exterior looks equally attractive when finished with bevel siding or wide
stained shingles. Under the front gable, a small entrance porch is designed, which gives
the front door the necessary protection. The left side of the plan contains living room,
dining room, kitchen, cellar stairs and platform for refrigerator. Two bedrooms, bath
and closets make up the balance of this compact plan.

WHAT picturesque possibilities can be hidden behind a few brick,
stone, sacks of cement, a pile of lumber and millwork. It all depends on
the design, but the result desired is a home with an attractive exterior
and a conveniently arranged interior. All "Honor Bilt" homes are
thoroughly tested to be sure that they contain these requirements
which make happy, satisfied home builders.

In presenting the Lynnhaven, we feel that we are offering a home
which will solve a problem for many home builders. The graceful way

in which the front projection ties itself into the main building and the
exceptionally attractive entrance, make this home one that will be
admired by many. The exterior walls, covered with our Royal Red
Cedar 2.4-inch shingles, when stained a light gray, give a very pleasing

THERE ARE SO MANY attractive details worked out
in the exterior of this home that it would be hard to
explain them all in this limited space. It is very evident,
however, that the fireplace chimney, which is planned
to be made of brick and stone, and the design of the
front entrance and shingled side walls, which are laid
with wide exposure, are among the most prominent
features.

The door at the front is a batten type door equipped with wrought
iron ornamental strap hinges. A very pleasing color scheme for the
exterior is to use a light gray shingle stain for the side walls, with
ivory trim paint for all outside finish members and sash; batten front
door stained brown; shutters and small front window oxidized green,
and color blend roof shingles.

THE VESTIBULE. The front door opens into a vestibule, at the
right of which is a roomy closet convenient for placing outer wraps.

THE LIVING ROOM is 13 feet 3 inches by 17 feet 2. inches and is
very well lighted by a triple sash window in the side wall. The plastered
cove, cornice and carefully designed fireplace complete the outstanding
features of this well planned room.

A double acting door is used in the opening between dining room
and kitchen. Along the right wall, next to the cellar stairs, you will
find a convenient place for the range and work table. The opposite wall
is devoted to the kitchen cabinets and the kitchen sink. A mullion
window placed high above the kitchen sink and a single window in
the rear wall assures plenty of light for this room.

THE BEDROOMS, Bath and Closets are located on the right of the
plan, the entrance to which is from the dining room through a small
hall, which gives them the necessary privacy. Each bedroom has an
exceptionally large closet and is well lighted. A good size linen closet
is also designed to open off the hall,

The house is 30 ft. by 37 ft., not including the kitchen
porch, and can be built on a 40 foot lot. For outside
walls we suggest our 24-inch Clear Royal Shingles

arranged by making an opening between the living room and one of the
bedrooms.

THE FIRST thing you must consider in selecting a
home is the size of the plan. Too large a home means a
waste in investment, unnecessary work and expense in
maintaining, and it costs more to furnish a larger house
than a smaller one. By careful planning, it is possible to
obtain an efficient, practical arrangement in a small design.

THE BUILDER of a small home is also desirous of
having the exterior most modern and attractive. Amer-
icanized English architecture has been expressed in the
lines of this home. Good window arrangement, with
batten type shutters, solid White Pine batten front
door and wood shingles for siding — all a few of the
noticeable exterior details.

Every item of material that enters into the construc-
tion of this home is of the same high grade quality as is
furnished in our larger types. The same proportion of
saving is created by the fact that all the framework is
cut to exact size, length and thickness at our factory.

THE PLAN contains a large living room, kitchen, two
bedrooms and bath. The front gable forms vestibule and
storage for outer wraps.

The STRATFORD

No. 3290— Honor Hi 1 i Home. Already Cut and Fitted
Month in Payments as Low as $50 to sti.7

THE STRATFORD is a very good example of a new type face brick
bungalow that is fast becoming popular among the builders of small
homes in this country. Due to the high pitched roof, casement sash,
batten type front door and general rustic appearance of the exterior, it is
classified as an Americanized English type bungalow.

There are so many attractive details worked out in the exterior of
this home that it would be hard to give you a picture of them all in
this limited amount of space. It is very evident, however, that the
fireplace chimney, which is planned to be constructed of brick and
stone with terra cotta flue pots at the top, and the front entrance are
among the most prominent features.

The terrace at the front is planned to be made with cement, with
the center colored and marked off to represent tile, and is given an
additional tone of welcome by the use of an attractively designed bench
used next to the fireplace chimney. The batten type front door is
made of Clear White Pine and equipped with wrought iron ornamental
strap hinges.

THE VESTIBULE. The front door opens into a vestibule at the
right of which is a roomy closet convenient for placing outer wraps.
This closet is lighted by a small casement sash shown in the front
wall. The opening between the vestibule and the living room is planned
for a circle head plastered arch.

THE LIVING ROOM. Size, 13 feet 1 inches wide by 17 feet 2. inches
deep, is very well lighted by four full length French doors in the front
wall and a single sliding sash window in the left. This room is designed
to have a plastered cove cornice and also a very attractive fireplace.
The recessed built-in bookcases on the left wall also add to the attrac-
tiveness of this room.

THE DINING ROOM. Size, 12. feet 2. inches by 11 feet 2. inches, is
well lighted by a triple window in the side wall and contains very good
wall space.

THE KITCHEN. Along the right wall you will find a convenient
place for range and work table. The opposite wall is devoted to kitchen
cabinets and a kitchen sink. The cabinets furnished consist of two top
and bottom storage units together with a broom closet.

THE BEDROOMS. Opening off the dining room through a plastered
arch, we enter into a small hall which connects the bedrooms and
gives them the necessary privacy. Each bedroom has an exceptionally
large closet and is well lighted.

A FIVE-ROOM bungalow type design, probably the
most popular of all American homes. In presenting this
economical Honor Bilt home, the Jewel, we not only
offer a compact five-room plan in which every foot of
floor space has been used to the best advantage, but have
also worked out an attractive exterior along the lines
commonly known as Americanized English.

THE EXTERIOR walls of this home are planned to be
covered with wide Clear Red Cedar shingles which are
relieved of any suggestion of plainness, by the careful
grouping of large, well placed windows with circle head
batten type entrance door and shutters to match.

We suggest using light gray color for the walls with
ivory or white trim and dark brown for the shutters and
front door.

THE ENTRANCE from the front terrace is into the
vestibule which gives the desired protection to the front
entrance and offers a convenient place for hanging outer
wraps.

The living room is 15 ft. 2. in. by 12. ft. 5 in. and is
well lighted by three large windows in the front and
side walls. Plastered arch opening used between this
room and the dining room.

refrigerator, sink and cabinets, consisting of one counter
and one wall unit.

Two well balanced bedrooms with large closets, bath-
room and linen closet make up the balance of the plan.

built on a 45-ft. lot.

HOME OF MRS. JULIA BENNETT,

Bedford, New York

IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO ADD a single feature that would improve
the exterior or the convenience of the interior of this beautiful Colonial
design.

If you own a well located lot and are interested in building a home
of your own, the service that Sears, Roebuck and Co. have to offer will
save you considerable money, and you have the additional satisfaction
of knowing that everything carries an iron-clad guarantee backed by
a $200,000,000 corporation.

Gordon Musical Foundation
Located on Music Mountain
at Falls Village, Connecticut

THE FIRST AMERICAN co-educational insti-
tution of its kind, which was recently established
by Mr. Jacques Gordon, former concert master of
the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, is modeled
along the same general idea that is adopted by
many European musical schools.

THE FIRST UNIT OF BUILDINGS, two of
which are illustrated on the next page, comprises
four Colonial homes, one for each member of the
Gordon String Quartet; a farm or temporary guest
house, and music hall which contains four large
private studios as well as seating capacity for four
hundred people. These buildings are typical of
the early Colonial architecture which prevails in
the New England states. It has a certain softness
and character that is seldom found in any other
part of the country. The entrance pictured at the
left is an outstanding example of Colonial archi-
tecture.

THE SECOND UNIT, which will consist of a
sixty room dormitory and large guest house, will
be built in the near future.

Page 42

SEARS, ROEBUCK and CO.

ON ACCOUNT OF previous concert contracts
and music lovers' demand of Mr. Gordon's time, it
was impossible for him to devote any time to the
many details necessary to complete a project of
this kind. Upon the advice of a mutual friend,
he turned the entire proposition over to the Home

Construction Division of Sears, Roebuck and Co.
to handle in every detail, construction, water
system, electricity and roads. Everything was
completed according to schedule.

Music Mountain is another example of the serv-
ice we are able to render.

THE "BELLEWOOD" is another happy combination of
a well laid out floor plan with a modern attractive exterior.
The design is an adaptation of a small English cottage.
Exterior walls are planned to be covered with gray pre-
stained clear Red Cedar shingles, laid with io-inch
exposure.

The graceful manner in which the front gable roof curves
over the vestibule gives this home an unusually inviting
entrance. Careful grouping of the windows and batten
type shutters also add to the exterior.

THE FLOOR PLAN. A clear White Pine batten type
front door, equipped with ornamental wrought iron
hinges, is used at the entrance to the vestibule which in
turn connects with the living room with a plastered arch.

THE LIVING ROOM is 13 ft. 5 in. by 15 ft. 5 in. and
lends itself to varied arrangements on account of good wall
space. The balance of the left side of the plan is devoted
to dining room, kitchen and rear hall with cellar stairs
and refrigerator platform. Kitchen cabinets consist of one
wall and one counter unit.

TWO LARGE BEDROOMS and bath complete the plan.
The bath is planned to be equipped with Venetian mir-
rored medicine case and (Triple A-A-A) quality bath fix-
tures.

EXTERIOR. The Westwood is an unusual bungalow that is
very practical because of its simplicity. This type home, without
question has the maximum convenience at the minimum cost.
The inset front porch is of practical size and gives the necessary
protection to the front entrance. Large dormer, exposed fireplace
chimney and good window arrangement are other noteworthy
features of the exterior. The plan is 2.4 feet 11 inches wide, by
44 feet 11 inches in depth. Red or cream face brick of either
smooth or wire cut texture will give the proper effect. All ex-
terior wood trim members and moldings are furnished in cypress,
which is the best material obtainable for the purpose.

INTERIOR. The left side of the plan is devoted to the living
room, dining room and kitchen.

Located between the kitchen and dining room you will find
the stairs leading to the attic which has sufficient headroom
so that it can be finished off for two additional rooms if so de-
sired.

The Kitchen contains convenient place for all fixtures such as
range, sink, cabinets and refrigerator. It is equipped with one
counter unit and two wall units.

BEDROOMS AND BATH. The right side of the plan is de-
voted to two large bedrooms with connecting bath. A small hall
separates these rooms from the main part of the house. Each
bedroom is well lighted by two large windows located to give
cross ventilation and each has a good sized closet.

an opportunity to build a home of such distinction and
quality at the low price made possible by our improved
methods and facilities. Equal to the skill with which
stucco, stone, brick and wide shingles are used in the
English exterior, is the elegance and completeness of the
interior appointments.

Stucco is planned to be used on the front wall between the left
corner and chimney, and 14-inch shingles with wide exposure on the
balance of the walls. The foundation is 34 feet wide in front and 2.8
feet wide in back. The length is 41 feet 9 inches, plus 6 feet 5 inches
for the cement terrace. Six rooms, four closets, bath, extra lavatory,
spacious vestibule and numerous built-in features are included.

Colors which will emphasize the protecting sweep of the roof as it
shelters the entrance, and enhance the contrast which makes the ex-
terior so effective, would be as follows: Buff stucco, cream stone,
dark red and brown brick and gray wood shingles.

THE FRONT entrance from the terrace is into a large vestibule
containing closet for outer wraps and forms the passageway to the
living room, lavatory and front bedroom.

The living room is 2.0 feet 5 inches wide by 13 feet 7 inches deep

MORE popular than ever, are five room brick bunga-

example of Americanized English architecture and of
compact convenience. The walls of face brick in blended
tones, are further beautified by careful grouping of
windows, by the circle head entrance and stained shin-
gles in the gables. FLOOR PLAN: The living room is
protected by a vestibule, size 8 ft. by 3 ft. 6 in. which
offers a convenient place for hanging outer wraps.

Note the good wall space in the living room which is
15 ft. 2. in. by ix ft. 5 in., and is well lighted by three
large windows in the front and side wall. The opening
between the living room and dining room is planned for
a plastered circle head arch, which is also used in the
opening between the dining room and hall. The dining
room is 11 ft. 1 in., by 13 ft. 5 in., and the openings are
such that you will find a convenient place for all fur-
niture.

In the homes of our grandparents, a large kitchen was
essential, but in the present day the most popular kitchen
is one that has a compact arrangement and saves steps
for the housewife. The kitchen in the Roxbury is sure to
make many friends, for it has a practical arrangement for
range, table, refrigerator, sink and cabinets. A small
hall back of the kitchen forms a side entrance and a
landing for the cellar stairs.

CONNECTING HALL gives the necessary privacy to
the bedrooms and bath, each bedroom being 11 ft. 5 in.

closet for linens opens off the hall. The bathroom is
above the average for a home of this size and contains a

The HAWTHORNE Six Rooms and Bath

No. 3311— Honor Hi H Home
Monthly Payments as Low as St. 7 to stitt

The HAWTHORNE fits modern conditions by turning
the living and dining rooms toward the garden and build-
ing a garden porch under the main roof. The side entrance
prevents tradesmen from intruding. With kitchen in
front, the housewife can keep an eye on things and reach
either front or back door in a few steps. The house is
30 ft. wide and 2.6 ft. deep, covered with 2.4-inch clear
Red Cedar Royal Shingles. A compact, comfortable, and
up-to-date Colonial home at a real saving.

FIRST FLOOR at left: Fireplace, French door, plaster
arches, vestibule, and large hall closet, make the living
room pleasant. The large dining room, like all other
rooms, has windows on two sides and good wall spaces.
Cabinets are beside the sink and above the refrigerator
space, broom closet nearest to the hall.

The HAMMOND Five Rooms and Bath

No. 3347— Modern Home
Monthly Payments as Low as s 140 to $540

In the HAMMOND we present the always popular
five-room bungalow in a new guise, up-to-date outside
and in, with beauty and distinction seldom found in
houses of this size and remarkably low cost. In sturdy
* 'Honor Bilt" construction, with high quality guaran-
teed materials, it will make the finest kind of an invest-
ment.

The main walls are to be covered with brick and the
gables with wide siding. Dark face brick with stained
siding would be attractive, but common brick white-
washed and white painted gables would be just as beauti-
ful. There is always a fascination in a house with inter-
esting details, such as the massive chimney of the
HAMMOND with its clay pots, the triple windows
which give such promise of a lovely living room, and the
unique entrance. This is a house which will stand out
among its neighbors and be a great source of pride to its
fortunate owners.

FLOOR PLAN : The front vestibule and coat closet are
lighted by a casement sash. Another closet is tucked into
the corner of the large living room, which is 2.0 ft. by 11
ft. 6 in. An attractive fireplace, and windows grouped on
two walls make this a delightful room. The kitchen is
out of sight, only the dining room with its double win-
dows being visible. The kitchen, with cross ventilation
and convenient grade entrance, has cabinets grouped
around the sink and the window above it. The side
entrance is convenient for drive and saves garden space in
back.

A hall to the right of living room leads to bath, linen
closet, and two good sized corner bedrooms, each having

a closet, windows on two sides, and good wall space.
Ceiling height on the first floor is 8 ft. 6 in. The base-
ment is 7 feet from floor to joists. The house is 34 ft. 11
in. wide and 31 ft. 5 in. deep on the bedroom side. It can
be built on a lot 41 feet or more in width, but requires 45
feet with side drive.

Fill out the Information Blank and we will send you
complete delivered price on the material, which is all
fully guaranteed, and a copy of the original architectural
drawings and floor plans.

The WORCHESTER Six Rooms and Rath

No. 3291-Modern Home

A well built brick home of such simple dignity, beauty
and economy as the WORCHESTER, makes a wonderful

in. by 2.1 ft. 11 in. and could be built with a side drive on
a lot 40 ft. wide. It has six comfortable corner rooms all
with cross ventilation, five closets, bath, two vestibules,
basement and an attic with stairs from one of the front
bedrooms.

FIRST FLOOR: Facing the entrance are the pretty
telephone cabinet and Colonial stair. Plastered arches
open to the living room and dining room, both of which
are at the front of the house, with ample windows and

room is a large recess for davenport. Cabinets surround
the sink and the window above it. Broom closet, and
space for refrigerator are in entry way.

rooms, each of which has windows on two sides and a

THE SIMPLE dignity and beauty of Colonial archi-
tecture found many expressions, one of the most interest-
ing being the Cape Cod Colonial, exemplified in the
GORDON. Many of these sturdy houses still standing
in New England, are objects of pilgrimage to those who
appreciate and love beautiful homes. Although face
brick is often used for the chimney, good effect is ob-
tained by using common brick whitewashed.

The GORDON is a most adaptable plan, as the first
floor constitutes a complete five room house, but two or

three additional rooms may be completed on the second
floor whenever needed. One very good second floor ar-
rangement here shown, affords two large bedrooms and
closets, with an additional bathroom.

FIRST FLOOR at left : Central stairways, one above
the other, lead to the basement and to the second floor.
The stair hall which connects all rooms and bath, con-
tains two extra closets. The two corner bedrooms have
each a closet and windows on two sides. The large en-
closed kitchen entry will suggest many uses. A fireplace,
and a terrace reached from the dining room are other
good features. SECOND FLOOR, plans above, contain
extra sleeping quarters and large storage room.

entrance is unusual in design and its projection forms the
convenient vestibule and closet.

venient arrangement of all furniture. If desired, the par-

fast furniture in the wall next to kitchen or drop leaf
table.

platform for refrigerator are located in the addition.
Kitchen equipment includes one counter unit "H," one

type design which gives the prospective home builder the
optiori of having five complete living rooms on the first
